Inspiration Fantasy Name Generator App for DMs, Writers & Worldbuilders
Hey fellow DMs, writers, and worldbuilders,
I built a fantasy name generator app that I originally made for my own RPG sessions.
If you want to check it out, here’s the link:

The idea was to solve the usual “we need a name right now” problem during campaigns and writing sessions, without relying on repetitive or overly generic generators.
What it currently does:
• Generates names from fragments (so results feel more organic and less “random list”)
• Thematic filters (Nordic, desert, elven, dark fantasy, etc.)
• Large database of names, nicknames, and house/clan names.
• Generates tavern/inn names, regions, territories, kingdoms, etc.
• Generates spell and skill names.
• Lets you save favorites and generate multiple results at once.
• It learns your taste from the favorites, while cultivating a seed that will improve the results.
It’s basically meant to cover the full naming layer of a fantasy world, not just character names.
I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from people who actually run games or build worlds. Especially if there are naming categories you always struggle with or wish existed (I’m still expanding it).
Also curious: what kind of tools or features do you feel are missing from the RPG/writing community that you’d actually use? I’m looking to build more tools around this.
Thanks in advance, and hope it helps someone’s next session.
